El Jueves...

Well, I am still on fire from the Atoms For Peace show in NYC
(*Click on band name for link to clip that gives a small taste of what we locked into)


That being said, the list is for your Thursday, good times, weekend or whatever, but certainly for all kinds of deep grooves...

We start with the master from his epic 1971 Paris performance. The video DOES clear up soon after it starts and is well worth sticking around for the guitar solo (Ain't it Funky)...



How can we not drop Herbie in on this party?



Which leads to a more modern, but somewhat familiar sound:



This hip shaker was is probably still ahead of it's time...

Has this week dragged past you so slowly?
I know a band that covers this tune REALLY well...




Gonna slow it up to "ladies choice" for this skate, for one of my favorite tunes...EVER. Grab a partner.



If we are talking bout funk, we probably should bring in the horns...like T.O.P? Prob. They know what hipness is. (be sure to check out the original recording as well!)



What is Hip? TV on the Radio...This is a fire-starter. "Fela" keys and raging horns...



Every person in the world should check out the early Pointer Sisters stuff...ie...




...and last but NOT least, the dude who made this all happen...

Perhaps my favorite guy around right now after the show I saw him put on last night.

Enjoy. Rock it this weekend.
